Jewelry Care

Here are some simple care suggestions:

Always avoid contact with chemicals, such as

  • Pool and sea water
  • Hair spray
  • Perfume
  • Household cleansers
  • Tap and well water: Water leaves nasty mineral deposits behind (look at your chrome faucets at home)
  • Chlorine: You can help avoid this by not swimming with your jewelry pieces on (chlorine & salt) and by not putting your jewelry on until you are finished with your hair and makeup.

Don't wear your jewelry to bed or to the gym. Exercising, swimming or doing household chores while wearing your jewelry will cover them with cooking grease, smoke, sweat and perspiration, and will eventually leave a film behind, dulling the color and shine. This is why it is necessary to clean your jewelry periodically.

Try to remember to wipe your jewelry pieces with a soft, damp cloth after wearing.

Any silver and gold jewelry will tarnish or discolor if left out in the open air. The less air contact there is with the jewelry the better off you are. I have had silver develop a dull haze in one week. The easiest way to keep your jewelry from tarnishing is to store it properly
